Crushed Stone, Sand and Gravel in Aviston, IL

Illinois Rock Supply brings gravel and aggregate delivery in Aviston, IL to your driveway, garden beds and building pad. You can order CA-6, washed stone, sand, topsoil and fill, all by the ton or the yard.

Clinton County sits in the Southern till plain and claypan country, where tight subsoil holds water and ground stays soft late into spring.

Materials for Aviston Projects

Grading and bed prep start with the soil you put down, and that means topsoil, garden soil and fill before anything else. Screened topsoil goes on lawns, grading and bed prep.

Illinois prairie topsoil is dark and silty, so yards sell it screened. Top Soil spreads and seeds cleanly over a rough grade.

For raised beds and vegetable plots, Garden Soil gives you a planting mix that holds moisture through a long Illinois summer. Fill Dirt raises grade first, before a CA-6 base course goes down.

Once the grade is set, the base and washed stone take over. CA-6, also called CA6 or road base, is dense graded crushed limestone with the fines left in, and it builds driveways, parking pads, shed and garage bases and trench backfill.

Washed clean stone beds pipe, drains trenches and sits under concrete flatwork. CA-7, also called CA7, #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, and CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean stone, both work here.

Torpedo sand, the coarse washed sand Illinois yards sell, goes into concrete and bedding. Mason sand, also called mortar sand, is the fine clean sand for brick and block mortar, paver joints and sandboxes.

On the decorative side, Natural Pea Gravel, river gravel and large river rock finish walkways, borders and dry creek beds. CA-16 chips at 3/8 inch top a compacted base or bed permeable pavers.

Ground and Conditions in Aviston

Water is the thing to plan around here. Across the Southern till plain and claypan country, the claypan sits close to the surface and stops water moving down.

Winter and spring rain perches on top of it, ground stays saturated for weeks, and unbound base pumps under traffic. That is why a clean washed stone drainage layer earns its place under flatwork and behind retaining walls.

Where the thin loess is bared, sheet and gully erosion takes the topsoil with it. Rip rap armors banks, culvert outlets, pond edges and slopes.

The season runs longer than upstate at both ends, but a wet winter and spring keep sites soft well into April. Late summer and fall are the reliable windows for grading, spreading soil and compacting base.

What stone should I use for drainage in Aviston?

Use clean washed stone with no fines. CA-7, also called #57 stone or 1 inch clean stone, and CA-11, the 3/4 inch clean stone, both work for French drains, foundation drains, drywells and downspout runs.

Drain Rock is the same family. Fines-bearing material like CA-6 does not drain, so keep it out of a drainage trench.
